The Whisper (Anxiety)

Did you hear that?

Wait…

What was that?

Never mind…

I hear a whisper when the room gets quiet

Telling me something’s wrong

Nothing happened, but I feel it coming Like I’ve felt it all

along

What if this?

What if that? What if everything goes bad?

One small thought becomes a thousand

Now I can’t turn it back

My heart keeps racing

But I’m standing still

Nothing is happening

But I feel the fear

THERE’S A WHISPER IN MY HEAD

TELLING ME TO RUN,

RUN, RUN

SAYING SOMETHING’S COMING

SOMETHING’S GONNA HAPPEN

THERE’S A WHISPER IN MY HEAD

I CAN’T TURN IT OFF,

OFF, OFF

EVERYTHING IS QUIET BUT MY MIND WON’T STOP

Yeah

Check the door, check my phone,

check the time

Read the same message like a hundred times

“What if they hate me?” “What if I’m wrong?”

“What if something happens while I’m gone?”

I know it’s probably nothing But my brain won’t let it go

Turns a little spark of worry

Into something I can’t control

I tell myself, “Relax” Then my heartbeat hits the roof

I know the fear ain’t always danger But the feeling still feels

true My heart keeps racing

But I’m standing still

Nothing is happening

But I feel the fear

THERE’S A WHISPER IN MY HEAD

TELLING ME TO RUN,

RUN, RUN

SAYING SOMETHING’S COMING

SOMETHING’S GONNA HAPPEN

THERE’S A WHISPER IN MY HEAD

I CAN’T TURN IT OFF,

OFF, OFF

EVERYTHING IS QUIET BUT MY MIND WON’T STOP

Maybe I don’t have to listen To every thought that comes my

way

Maybe every warning

Doesn’t mean there’s danger

I can feel my heartbeat

I can feel the floor

Take a breath…

One more…

Then one more.

THERE’S A WHISPER IN MY HEAD

TELLING ME TO RUN,

RUN, RUN

BUT I’M NOT GONNA FOLLOW

EVERY FEAR THAT COMES THERE’S A WHISPER IN MY HEAD

BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE CONTROL

I CAN HEAR IT TALKING BUT I’M LEARNING TO LET GO

Did you hear that?

… Nothing. I think I’m okay.
